Drew Brees announces he’s playing in 2020

The Saints may have to put those plans for a future franchise quarterback on hold.

The old one’s coming back.

Quarterback Drew Brees just announced on Instagram that he’s returning for the 2020 season.

Next to a photograph of a mountaintop on Instagram, he wrote: “My feelings about the 2020 season! I look forward to the grind and the journey, for the reward at the end will be worth it!!! Love you #WhoDatNation. Let’s make another run at it!”

The 41-year-old Brees has been with the Saints since 2006, and his coming back should help keep them atop the list of NFC contenders for another year.

The Saints are in an interesting position now, as they hope to hang onto restricted free agent gadget player Taysom Hill. Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater‘s also an unrestricted free agent, and should have interest (even if not at the levels some are suggesting).

I would have bet on this one. I'd also bet that Teddy will be playing somewhere else in 2020 maybe even as a starter. I wouldn't mind if he wound up here as our #2 though that is a high improbability.

Teddy to New England is very possible

Yeah maybe. It probably depends on what Brady does in the end.

I know. And I hope not. I'd really like to root for the kid. Love Brees too. Class act.

I could not bear to see Teddy in NE

I agree. I'd have to stop rooting for him and I don't want to. My guess would be Brady stays put and Teddy goes to the panthers. Brady will likely get some absurd offers so that could throw a wrench into the whole deal.
